Measurable snow is on its way to Lake Tahoe.

Snow levels will start just below 6,000 feet and continue to fall to valley floors throughout Monday and into the evening, according to the National Weather Service in Reno. One to 3 inches are predicted for lake level.

Drivers should be prepared to deal with slick roads for Tuesday morning’s commute.

With the cold front comes a dramatic drop in temperatures. The high Monday will be 40 degrees, 38 on Tuesday. Lows for most of the week will be in the 20s.

By the time Thursday rolls around the high is supposed to be 56 degrees in the basin.
